I'm now officially converted to the RGB LED religion and OpenRGB is amazing

I've always wondered where these blinged out rigs sit. My case is on the floor to my left so the only LED I can see is the front fan, and barely that. Do you have it sitting on your desk to your right to enjoy all the blinkin` lights to their fullest? I can never hear my case fans, I wonder how it is next to your head.

I hear it's going to be really boring. I'd recommend that nobody watch. I'll watch and let you know how it goes.

Huh, wonder how many people are using xfs on their home directories? I know Redhat switched to it, but not sure how many use that as their desktop OS (I would, but I like shiny new things).

RHEL doesn't exactly target consumers. Fedora switched to btrfs as the default in F33.

I'll probably reformat the drive to ext4 when I get a chance.

nit: Red Hat

I've been using OpenRazer and Polychromatic with my Deathadder Elite for years and it is amazing.

Valve starts roll-out of the Steam Deck controller configurator to desktop Steam
22 Oct 2022 at 1:48 pm UTC Likes: 7

I found it amusing that the three intro screens for the new configuration tool demonstrate using a Steam Deck. It made my Steam controller jealous that it didn't have its own screen.

NVIDIA 520.56.06 driver adds easier NVIDIA NGX updates for Wine / Proton

Quoting: MarlockThis is a widespread notion but I honestly don't get it...

If we were talking about some cryptic app that only exists in AUR I would be agreeing, but we're talking about Mesa here.

How's adding Kisak's (Stable) Mesa PPA in any way difficult on Ubuntu and derivates?

What about for non-Ubuntu and derivatives?

Consider that it may be a widespread notion because it is true (I don't know). Average users may find it difficult either way, either because they don't know how or they don't know what they don't know.

The 'Heavy Machinery' update for survival game Volcanoids looks awesome
30 Sep 2022 at 3:00 pm UTC Likes: 1

Maybe I should give it another look. I last played it in 2020 and didn't get very far. The crafting and material gathering was just dreadful compared so something like Subnautica. And the combat was meh at best. This video makes it look like almost a completely different game.
